Nellie the elephant

nos versos
     E no refrão

Em B7 Em    Em                B
To Bombay a travelling circus came,
    F#7                     B            F#7            B
they brought an intelligent elephant and Nellie was her name.
Em  B7   Em        Em               B
One dark night she slipped her iron chain
    F#7            B                 F#          B
and off she ran to Hindustan and was never seen again

Ooooooooooooooooh

E                                        A                    E
Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and said good-bye to the circus
A                  E                F#      B      E
Off she went with a trumpety-trump, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!
    E                                        A                    E
Now Nellie the elephant packed her trunk and trumbled back to the jungle
A                   E               F#      B      E
Off she went with a trumpety-trump. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!


Em    B  Em         Em                   B
Night by night, she danced to the circus band,
     F#7                    B              F#7                 B
when Nellie was leading the big parade she looked so proud and grand
Em B7   Em         Em           B
No more tricks for Nellie to perform
     F#7               B                  F#7               B
they taught her how to take a bow and she took the crowd by storm

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhh

    A                    E       A        E
The head of the herd was calling far, far away;
     F#                   B                   F#           C
they met one night in the silver light on the road to Mandalay

Ooooooooooooooooh
